Observations

How many times will a non-tenured teacher be observed?

Non-tenured teachers in Years 1 and 2 will receive two
long and one short observation. Non-tenured teachers in Years 3 and 4 will
receive one long and two short observations. Changing any short observation
into a long observation will be at the discretion of the administrator or at
the request of the teacher. All teachers will receive a minimum of one announced
observation and one unannounced observation.

How many times will a tenured teacher be observed?

Tenured teachers will be observed 3 times. All tenured
teachers will receive one long observation. The length of the remaining two
will be at the discretion of the administrator with input from individual
teachers or at the request of the teacher. All teachers will receive a minimum
of one announced and one unannounced observation.

How will I know that I have an observation request
pending?

You will receive an email to your school account that
will alert you that a supervisor and/or administrator would like to come in for
an observation. You’ll need to log on to www.mylearningplan.com to confirm or
reschedule the appointment.

What should I do prior to and after an observation?

Once you an observation date and time, please complete
the pre-observation form available in OASYS-My Learning Plan. Complete the form
so that your observer has the pertinent details about the class, lesson, etc.
After the observation, you’ll review the observation report and meet with the
observer to discuss at a post observation conference. An email alert will
notify you that an observation report has been completed.
